MAKING THE CONNECTIONS  
CAUTION: The supplied AC power cord, has a polarized plug that fits into the wall outlet only  
one way. If the plug does not fit properly, turn it over and try again. Do not force it.  
CONNECTION TO TV SET  
In order to display song lyrics from CDG also to appear on TV screen, you must connect the  
included video cable (yellow colored RCA single-plug) to the Video Output jack on the back of  
your SMG-301 unit. Then connect the other end of the video plug (yellow) to the Video Input jack  
of the television. If your television does not have the required Video Input, you will need an RF  
Modulator (Radio Frequency Modulator), which connects through your TV antenna or cable line  
and serves as Video Input.

MAKING THE CONNECTIONS  
Please have the sample CDG demo disc provided with your Singing Machine playing in the  
Singing Machine when you are making these connections so you will see the lyrics on the  
screenassoonasyouhavethesetupcompletedcorrectly.  
You must specify the source you wish to view when you are connecting the video out from the  
Singing Machine to either a TV or a VCR. Every TV and VCR manufacturer accomplishes the  
set-up a little differently. Even though every TV and VCR is a little different, the general idea is  
the same - if you have two sources of video signal (cable or antenna and Singing Machine), you  
havetospecifywhichoneisdisplayedonthescreen.  
If you have never used the video input RCA jack on your TV/VCR you should consult your  
TV/VCR user guide. If you don’t have the manual for your TV or VCR, we suggest calling the  
customer service department for your manufacturer. They will be able to tell you very quickly  
howtoconfigureyourTVorVCRtodisplaythevideoconnection.  
Thethreemost commonwaystoset uptheTV/VCRare:  
1) A ‘Video’ button may be on the TV/VCR or on the remote control. Pressing ‘Video’ may  
displaytheinput fromyourSingingMachine.  
2) Try looking for a ‘Video’ channel between the regular channels on your TV/VCR. Do this by  
setting the channel on the TV/VCR to channel 2 then pressing the ‘Down’ channel button to  
see if there is a ‘Video In’ or ‘Line In’ between the lowest channel and the highest channel on  
yoursystem.  
3) The configuration may also be located in the set-up menu on the TV/VCR. Look for a section  
on ‘Input Selection’ where you might be able to choose the input source i.e. ‘Cable/Ant.’,  
‘Video1’, ‘LineInorVideoIn’.  
DCJACKOPERATION:12Vto14Vmaximum.  
negative “-”, OD = 5.5mm  
positive “+”, ID = 2.0mm  
A DC jack is provided for external DC power for use in a car, boat or RV. Please be sure that  
inside of the jack is connected to Å 12V side and the outside of jack is connected to , negative  
side battery. 12 volts fuse protected lighter style plug extension cord with adapter is  
recommended.

MAKING THE CONNECTIONS  
CONNECTING AN AUDIO COMPONENT FOR OUTPUT

COMPACT DISC  
Handling Disc  
Although the music tracks in the disc are  
covered with a protective layer, it is still  
advisable to treat the disc carefully.  
Ensure that you always pick up discs by  
the edge, and put them back in their  
holders immediately after use.  
!
Recordingis not performedsatisfactorily.  
Therefore, for continued high  
performance from the cassette section,  
periodically clean the heads, pinch  
rollers and capstans whenever an  
accumulation of dust and red-brown  
oxide particles is noticed. To do this open  
the cassette compartments. Carefully  
rub each head (4,5,8), pinch roller (3,7)  
and capstan (2,6) with a cotton swab (1)  
moistened with isopropyl alcohol or  
special head-cleaning fluid.  
CLEANING DISC  
Cleaning will not normally be necessary.  
However, should fingerprints, dust or  
dirt appear, you can wipe them off with a  
soft, lint-free cloth. Wipe the disc in a  
straight line from center to edge. You  
can moisten the disc first with ordinary  
tap water if necessary.

THE SINGING MACHINE KARAOKE GLOSSARY OF TERMS  
In addition to all of the terminology associated with consumer electronics products, a few  
additional terms are used almost exclusively in karaoke. These terms are meant to familiarize  
you with the world of Karaoke. The features listed below may not necessarily pertain to the  
particular model Singing Machine that you have. The following are some brief explanations of  
karaoke terms:  
Echo:  
Echo adds depth and resonance to a singer's voice, without affecting the music. This echo is  
producedbycreatingminorcontrolledfeedbackinthesinger'svoice.  
MultiplexRecording:  
Our multiplex recordings contain 2 copies of the same song. One version is a stereo recording of  
the song without the lead singer. The second version is recorded with the music and  
background vocals on the left channel and the lead singer recorded on the right channel. This  
‘split track’ recording allows you to control the volume of the lead singer by adjusting the balance  
control. You can sing a duet with the lead singer or use the lead singer as a guide as you learn  
the song, gradually fading them out with the balance control until you are able to sing the song  
onyourown.  
Auto VoiceControl (AVC):  
When the AVC function is activated, the vocals on a multiplex recording are eliminated as soon  
as the singer begins singing into the microphone. When the singer stops singing, the vocals on  
the multiplex recording are automatically re-activated. This useful function is used primarily  
during practice sessions while a singer is learning a song. Please note that the AVC function  
only works with multiplex recordings and not with standard recordings.  
Pitch Control:  
This function controls pitch of music by controlling the speed at which a cassette tape plays  
back. By increasing the speed of the tape, the music sounds higher (sharp). By slowing the tape  
speed, the music sounds lower (flat).  
Key Controller:  
This Controller changes the key of the CD/CDG music (+ or - steps) to adjust to the singer’s  
voice.  
CDG:  
This is an acronym for Compact Disc plus Graphics. You will also see variations CD+G, and  
CD+Graphics. This is a regular audio CD with information stored on a data track simultaneous  
to music. In laymen's terms, CDG has a video output for simple graphics (not full motion video).  
In the case of karaoke, the graphics function is used to store song lyrics, and display the lyrics in  
synch with music. In most cases, CDG software displays lyrics which change color as they are  
to be sung. A regular television is all that is required to display CDG lyrics.  
NOTE - CDG is a particular type of compact disc encoding system that is different from VCD or  
DVD. Your Singing Machine can decode standard audio compact discs and CDG discs. It will  
not read VCD or DVD encoded discs.  
Standard audio discs and cassette tapes will not display lyrics on your TV. Audio CDs do not  
contain the software necessary to display lyrics.
